Last year, they were defeated early in the Interhigh preliminaries. At a crucial moment in a match, Kasamatsu made a miss pass and their opponents overtook the match. Although some blamed Kasamatsu for their loss, Kaijō's coach, Takeuchi, made Kasamatsu the captain.[2] Kasamatsu decided to win the next Interhigh, but they were defeated by Tōō in the quarter-final.

Because of their Interhigh participation, they are now competing in the Winter Cup. They passed the first three rounds and won against Fukuda Sōgō Academy in the quarter-finals, placing them for the semi-finals against Seirin High. After a tough match, Seirin emerged victorious.

Having lost to Seirin, they are placed into a Third Place Match against Shutoku who also lost to Rakuzan. Because Kise didn't play, Shutoku eventually won because they weren't able to stop Midorima.
